Legal and medical status of cannabis From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia | Argentina (South America) Illegal | Cannabis is an illegal, Decriminalized drug in Argentina. It is
Decriminalized for personal use in small amounts and for consumption only in private locations. Public consumption is generally accepted among the young adults and overlooked by police in the suburbs.
Consumption for medical purposes is accepted but not legislated (only in private locations). Cultivating, selling and transporting large amounts is illegal and punishable by present laws.
Personal possession of controlled substances has been decriminalized, thanks to a Supreme Court ruling in 2009 that found imposing jail time for small amounts of drugs was a violation of Argentina's constitution, which protects private actions that don't harm others. Lawmakers have been working to amend the law since then, with proposals ranging from simple decriminalization in accordance with the ruling to a complete overhaul of the country's drug laws. In December, Father Juan Carlos Molina, a Catholic priest newly appointed as the nation's drug czar, said Argentina deserves a debate about whether to follow Uruguay in regulating marijuana.

Medical marijuana around the world -
Published at 2006-06-22 in Cannabis information » Medical cannabis
|
Marijuana is looked at very differently around the world. For example, in the Netherlands cannabis has been legally available for recreational use in coffee shops for several years. Thus it has also been available without a prescription for medical uses. Here we take a look at various countries look at the term “medical marijuana”.
Source - http://www.420source.com/post/34

International law

Marijuana is in Schedule IV of the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, making it subject to special restrictions. Article 2 provides for the following, in reference to Schedule IV drugs:

A Party shall, if in its opinion the prevailing conditions in its country render it the most appropriate means of protecting the public health and welfare, prohibit the production, manufacture, export and import of, trade in, possession or use of any such drug except for amounts which may be necessary for medical and scientific research only, including clinical trials therewith to be conducted under or subject to the direct supervision and control of the Party.

This provision, while apparently providing for the limitation of marijuana to research purposes only, also seems to allow some latitude for nations to make their own judgments. The official Commentary on the Single Convention indicates that Parties are expected to make that judgment in good faith.

Argentina: Decriminalizing Medical Marijuana
ARDA and the “Parentella Law”
By Luis Gómez
Part III: Argentina at the Gates of Reform
August 27, 2003
“The Harm Reduction and HIV/AIDS Prevention Program, carried out among drug users in the city of Rosaio, confirmed both the efficiency and the direct benefit that comes from utilizing drug users community health workers,” begins Gustavo Hurtado, secretary of the Harm Reduction Association of Argentina (ARDA, in its Spanish initials). “In Argentina,” he continues, “we have proven that specifically trained drug users can be the best avenue to contact their peers, especially during interventions in communities that society has flung into conditions of extreme poverty and marginality.”
Silvia Inchaurraga, president of ARDA, agrees, adding that “this program is actually being reproduced in various areas and unusual urban bases, with the respective support of ARDA, the ETS/AIDS Program of Santa Fe Province, and the LUSIDA Project of the National Health Ministry. In May of 2002 the program was monitored by the UN Joint Program on HIV/AIDS (ONUSIDA). We recieved an official vist, durring which ONUSIDA commited to financial support for the project’s continuation into the next period.”

Latin America: Argentine Appeals Court T...
17 Mar 2006 ... Latin America: Argentine Appeals Court Throws Out Medical ... an order to reopen the investigation into the medical efficacy of marijuana in ...
|
In a ruling last week, an Argentine federal court threw out the marijuana possession conviction of a Buenos Aires woman who argued that she used the herb for medicinal purposes. The court also ordered the sentencing judge to reconsider the case, taking into account Argentine privacy law, the state of the research on medical marijuana, and the claims that the woman made about how marijuana relieved her symptoms, according to reports in the Buenos Aires daily Pagina 12.
The woman, who was not named in the proceedings, admitted that she used marijuana on occasion to quiet the pains from a spinal cord problem and to fight insomnia because her stomach could not tolerate other analgesics and anti-inflammatory drugs. The trial judge heard these claims, but did not investigate them, and ordered her tried for simple possession of marijuana.
On appeal, the woman's attorney, Gustavo Kollman, argued that the woman's right to health overruled Argentine marijuana laws and presented expert witnesses to back up her claims. Among them was Rodolfo Rothlin,
head of the Pharmacology Department of the University of Buenos Aires School of Medicine, who cited US FDA approval of synthetic cannabinoids (Marinol) for AIDS wasting and cancer chemotherapy patients, as well as other conditions, including "chronic pain."

San Diego's War on Medical Marijuana Continues -
by Eugene Davidovich
Sunday Jul 5th, 2009 1:19 PM
In California it has been over a decade since the Compassionate Use Act. Several years since SB420, and almost a year since the California Attorney General's guidelines. We have even had The California Third District Court of Appeal last week issue a ruling reaffirming patients rights to collectively cultivate medical marijuana.
However here in San Diego we still have our leadership debating whether marijuana is medicine. The San Diego DA’s Office and Bonnie Dumanis have stated numerous times that there is no such thing as a legal collective or cooperative, and that anyone who engages in an attempt to cultivate and distribute collectively is obviously in it for profit, "why else would they get in to this activity".

CANNABIS SITUATION AROUND THE WORLD
In Argentina it is called Chanvre; in Spain Cáñamo' in Russia Konoplya;
in China Tal Ma; in Hungary Kender.
It has many other names.
Cannabis is illegal almost everywhere. In many countries there is what appears to be decriminalisation for personal possession of small amounts, but this is largely due to the ineffectiveness of the law and the inability of the police to cope.
Nevertheless you can be arrested for small amounts, even on suspicion, and will be fined or imprisoned for selling, almost everywhere. Some countries even KILL people for it.

Argentine reform movement gains momentum
By Mike Bifari and Alejandro Aldama
Argentina’s homegrown cannabis activists got a big boost when well-respected author and activist Chris Conrad and his wife Mikki Norris, of the Cannabis Consumers Campaign, visited from the US during December and January.
The timing was perfect. Headlines in the most important newspapers heralded a Supreme Court decision giving a green light to depenalization, as the current law goes directly against constitutional rights. The Court is expected to give its final ruling by early March, shaping a new policy.
After weeks of activities, including conferences in three major cities on topics including medical cannabis, industrial hemp, adult markets, etc., and after receiving a great amount of media exposure, a conference in downtown Buenos Aires was the closing event of a successful tour.

History of the Medical Use of Marijuana
from the National Commission of Marijuana and Drug Abuse
see also: The History of the Intoxicant Use of Marihuana
From: Marihuana, A Signal of Misunderstanding, the Report of the US National Commission on Marihuana and Drug Abuse, 1972
The term "marihuana" is a word with indistinct origins. Some believe it is derived from the Mexican words for "Mary Jane"; others hold that "marihuana" comes from. the Portuguese word marigu-ano which means "intoxicant" (Geller and Boas, 1969: 14). This chapter outlines the many and varied uses of marihuana through history, and deals with its use in medicine and its use as an intoxicant.
...
This section on the -antibiotic uses of cannabis concludes with a summary of several reports from various countries. In Pharmacopee Arabe: "The ground-up seeds are mixed with bread for people with tuberculosis" (Andrews and Vinkenoog, 1967: 145). In Czechoslovakia: "A preparation from seed pulp was . . . introduced by Sirek to act as a roborant diet in treatment of tuberculosis" (Kabelik, 1960: 8). "In Southern Rhodesia the plant is used as an African remedy for malaria, anthrax, sepsis, black water fever, dysentery, blood-poisoning, tropical quinine-malarial haemoglobinuria, and a wart medicine" (Watt, 1961: 13). In Argentina:
Cannabis is considered a real panacea for tetanus, colic, gastralgia, swelling of the liver, gonorrhoea, sterility, impotency, abortion, tuberculosis of the lungs and asthma ... even the root-bark has been collected in spring, and employed as a febrifuge, tonic, for treatment of dysentery and gastralgia, either pulverized or in form of decoctions.
The root when ground and applied to burns is said to relieve pain. Oil from the seeds has been frequently used even in treatment of cancer . . . (Kabelik, 1960: 8).

N.J. Senate approves medical marijuana bill -
Monday, December 15, 2008 |
TRENTON BUREAU:
A Senate committee today cleared a measure that would allow medical use of marijuana in New Jersey.
The Senate Health, Human Services and Senior Citizens Committee voted to approve the long-stalled bill by a 6 to 1 margin; two senators abstained.
The bill calls for creating “alternative treatment centers” where people with chronic and terminal diseases would be allowed access to marijuana. Supporters say marijuana is a viable treatment option to alleviate pain in many cases.

“It is the definition of basic human decency that we do whatever we can to ease the pain and suffering of people living with severe chronic and terminal diseases,” said bill sponsor Sen. Nicholas Scutari, D-Union.
“When all other avenues of currently-approved pain relief have been exhausted, we need to give doctors the freedom to prescribe medical marijuana to give their patients a measure of comfort and dignity in the face of their debilitating diseases. This bill is about the most humane, compassionate option for those state residents who have nowhere else to turn in managing their illnesses.”

A new study entitled Marijuana Effectiveness as an HIV Self-Care Strategy, which was released this past weekend in Clinical Nursing Research, indicates that persons living with HIV/AIDS rate cannabis as more effective in treating the symptoms of anxiety, depression, fatigue, diarrhea, and neuropathy than other prescription and over the counter medications.

The study, which was conducted over a two year period and included 775 patients from the USA, Africa, and Puerto Rico, assessed the use of cannabis as a symptom management approach for anxiety, depression, fatigue, diarrhea, nausea, and peripheral neuropathy. 27% of survey participants reported using cannabis for medicinal purposes.

Researchers wrote that cannabis use “was rated slightly more effective than antidepressants for anxiety and depression, Imodium for diarrhea, [over the counter] (OTC) medications for fatigue, and anti-epileptics and OTC medications for neuropathy” while cannabis was rated “slightly less effective for nausea than either prescribed or OTC medications.” Authors concluded that cannabis “is perceived by users as at least as effective as prescribed medications in symptom management.”

US Government Says It Will Stop Interfering with Medical Marijuana |
According to this article, US Attorney General Eric Holder has said that states will be allowed to make their own rules about medical marijuana, and that the US federal government will stop raiding medical marijuana dispensaries in California. (See article “Can Marijuana Help Rescue California’s Economy?”at this link)
In the 1990s, several US states passed referendums which allowed marijuana to be used legally for medical purposes. In a referendum, the registered voters vote directly on the proposed law, as opposed to the law being passed by the state legislature. Thus, when these states passed these referendums, it meant that the citizens of these states really wanted medical marijuana to be made legal.

However, in a blatant disregard for democracy and the people’s will, under the Bush administration, the national government refused to accept this law, and carried out raids of the medical marijuana dispensaries.

Informational Guide on Medical Cannabis |
If you have ever heard of the song, “Lets Go Get Stoned,” as sung by Ray Charles or Joe Cocker, you know the lyrics were referring to getting high or using cannabis aka marijuana. This mind altering drug goes by other names as well; names such as weed, pot, joint, blunt, hash and mary jane are quite common among users. Cannabis is a plant that contains a chemical called cannabinoids or cannabinolidic acids.
Another substance that is found in cannabis is THC, or Tetrahydrocannabinol, which gives the users that “high” sensation. When speaking of marijuana, the actual substance used in creating the high feeling comes from the leaves and flowering tops of the cannabis plant. Marijuana is considered to be a schedule 1 controlled substance today, because of the THC, which can be highly potent, depending upon the concentration factor of the THC.

Proven : Cannabis is Safe Medicine
by Ian Williams Goddard | In reaction to medical cannabis access referendums on the ballots in Arizona and California, former presidents Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, and George Bush signed a letter stating that they "categorically oppose'' access to cannabis for its many proven therapeutic uses such as the prevention of blindness and epileptic seizures. Their chief concern was that legal medical access would send the message that cannabis is safe. The presidents can, however, lay their safety concerns to rest because the scientific literature overwhelmingly confirms that cannabis is both an effective and safe medicine.
The Cannabis Safety Profile. The journal PHARMACOLOGICAL REVIEWS reports that decades of research prove that, "Compared with legal drugs...marijuana does not pose greater risks." Yet based upon mortality statistics, we can safely conclude that cannabis is one of the safest medical drugs known, for, while prescription drugs, defined as safe by the FDA, kill up to 27,000 and aspirin up to 1,000 Americans per year, cannabis kills 0 per year.

Some authors refer to social topics that require discussion even within the bounds of a narrow handling of medicinal aspects.
